Sunshine! I live in Denmark (yes, your blog has made it all the way around the internet to Scandinavia!) At this time of year we only have daylight for 7 hous a day and we have been hit with a bucketload of beautiful, white snow. Actually not just buckets, but millions of buckets of snow. Crazy road-blocking-don&#39;t-know-if-I-can-make-it-home-for Christmas amounts of snow. <br />Fingers crossed! <br />By the way: your blog is great, inspiring and I especially find your - and your moms - &#39;eat well&#39;-posts amazing!

Except....<br /><br />Every year it snows on top of this mountain that is a 45 minute drive to visit and every year we make the pilgrimage up there to frolic in the snow. It&#39;s fun, we get our snow fix and have an awesome day BUT! I&#39;m actually kind of glad that I don&#39;t have to shovel my sidewalks, defrost my car, bundle everybody up in 1,000 layers, etc. I realized this year that Tucson has it pretty damn good in the winter department. <br /><br />Still, one of these days I WILL have a white Christmas damnit!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13808888025816733460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-87605494650556543752010-12-23T08:24:51.871-08:002010-12-23T08:24:51.871-08:00I love the sledding at the beach!

The three of us went to San Diego on vacation last year, and I could hardly get my husband and girl back on the plane. <br /><br />My aunt moved from Iowa to California forty years ago, and she said it took a while to adjust to the lack of weather, not just seasons, but the harsh storms of the Midwest. I kind of think I could get used to it. I look at your photos of blue sky with envy. :) <br /><br />You can come visit Kansas City any time you want snow.

We have bbqs, so much seafood, trifle, peach and mango bellinis along with all the traditional christmas stuff like pudding, ham, turkey etc. Plus you can hang out at the beach in between meals! I once spent a freezing Christmas in New York and it was so strange - can&#39;t say I&#39;ve ever wished for a snowy christmas since!

I&#39;m so moving. <br /><br />I&#39;ve wanted to move away from the snow ever since I can remember- I dream of waking up Christmas morning to palm trees and warm breezes. I envy your sand.<br /><br />It&#39;s cold, snowy and ugly outside. It&#39;s nothing like those Christmas movies. Hot cocoa and a little snowman building bonding session with your siblings is NOT a gateway to Christmas spirit. <br /><br />Okay- how bout this? You enjoy your warm breeze, and I will enjoy staying inside while the snow falls- and we&#39;ll pretend we&#39;ve swapped places. <br /><br />Happy Holidays!jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10825565938797709831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-65002633582008864062010-12-22T20:12:25.245-08:002010-12-22T20:12:25.245-08:00I&#39;m envious of your weather!

Then theres the wind-chill. Our TV reporters often tell us that we need to have all visible skin covered in case it freezes on contact with air for less then 10 seconds. <br />Yes is might be beautiful with the bright blue sky and crisp snow. But what most Manitoban&#39;s know beyond that is that crisp sound is when the snow freezes to such a point it wont hold together so it makes that creaky sound. That big blue sky, yeah thats because any moisture that may have been in the air has frozen and so its super super bright out. So the brighter it is, the colder it is. So I dream of a Christmas where the skies are blue and bathed in sun that warms the skin and a global location where you can expose with out risk of sever frost bite while on your way to take the garbage out.duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10551392923684816740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-81876158067084480452010-12-22T17:59:51.862-08:002010-12-22T17:59:51.862-08:00it is so goddamn cold in brooklyn, i cannot even f...it is so goddamn cold in brooklyn, i cannot even fathom your weathernenanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-87786077776816683812010-12-22T17:28:22.890-08:002010-12-22T17:28:22.890-08:00We&#39;re temporarily dislocated from the Encinita...We&#39;re temporarily dislocated from the Encinitas area...and this post is making me miss it SO MUCH more.
